"My parents took me to the New York World's Fair in 1964 and 1965 when I was
barely more than a toddler. That event changed my life and made me the scientist and writer I am today. It showed me the wonders
of science. It taught me about other cultures. It freed my imagination and allowed me to dream. That is the power of a World's
Fair, a truly great world exposition such as the ones hosted by New York in the 20th century. World's Fairs show us a new
vision and open our minds. I thank my parents, Robert Moses, and all those responsible for organizing the 1964-65 World's
Fair for allowing me to have that experience. By bringing a real World's Fair to New York in 2012 we can help our children
have the same kind of experience and give them a vision for a better world." David W. Kriebel, Ph.D.

We lead the world in everything else; it's time for America to lead the world
into the future as the beacon of Freedom and Life as it's always been with the World's Fair. We must make sure we do it right
though -- not holding back on our creativity -- THAT is our true sign for freedom. -What a better way to show that than the
World's Fair? Micah Enloe

"New York is the greatest city ever, and should show that fact to the whole world
again." Thomas B. Puzak

"I have attended the '64-'65 NYWF and many since then around the world ('82,
'84, '86, '88, '92, '98) with the last one in Hannover, Germany ('00). I will miss the one in Switzerland currently. I go
to these fairs because they are educational and I meet people from all around the world. They are a lot better than a geography/history
class and you get to collect varied memorabilia. I thought the NY fairs were to be every 25 years. The last one should have
taken place in '89-'90, at least that was what I was told in 1965 at the fair. Let's make this a reality. I am sure my daughter
would love such an event. I know I enjoyed the NYWF when I was 9 as well as Freedomland in the Bronx!! Do not let this idea
vanish . . ." Larry Porco

"I am from Florida State University and I worked at Ground Zero over Spring Break.
It was an amazing learning experience for me. I think the World's Fair would be a positive influence on all Americans, especially
if it were in New York!" Lauren Hooker

NY64 Fair made an unbelievable and lasting impression on me as a 12 Year Old.
Unforgetable!!! David C. Stewart

"Obviously the fiscal impact of a World's Fair is beneficial to our receding
national economy, but the social unity and nation wide confidence it is bound to restore is invaluable." Morgan Lynch

"I completely support this project! Especially following the events of this past
year, we need to show that New York is strong and can bounce back; even enough to hold the world's fair!" Rachel Levine

". . . I believe that it is very fitting to
assist New York in some way post 9/11. New York is one of the great cities of the world . . . Right now it needs a vision
for the future. Human interaction is what we need to foster understanding between cultures. So far the results of 9/11 have
been panic, fear and mistrust. Now is the time to channel our energies into something important. The atmosphere in the World
trade Centre must have been something like Expo due to the multitude of nationalities working there. The come back of this
kind of atmosphere will be facilitated with Expo 2012 in NYC. Lets go Expo!!!!!" Leon Saiz

"What an excellent way for the world to come
together and show support for peace, freedom & unity. World's Fairs have been a significant, positive influence on many
lives and nations. The U.S.A. and New York could really use this one. Show your support and spread the word." Kevin R.
Davis

"Bringing the fair to New York City would be
a good thing and I heartily support any efforts to do so." Stephen
Silver

"Please bring the World's Fair back. Many people that I have spoken to don't
even remember the World's Fair. I remember at age 4 going to NYC and seeing the large round globe. Ths is such a wortwhile
event and a piece of history. I didn't know the Fair's were still going on. After 9/11 we need something like this to help
with healing and bringing people together." R. Stokes

"NYC...the city! Let`s show the world again!!!!" Jackie Conley

financial healing to that destitute city." Matthew J. Holmes

"Terrific idea, bring people from all over world" Diane E. Meyers

"We need a world's fair in the United States. 2012 will mark the 30th anniversary
of the last time a world's fair was held in the United States and the 28th anniversary of the last one in North America. An
entire generation has grown up not knowing about world's fairs while they've been held in other continents ever since. Give
a whole new generation a world's fair to remember for the rest of their lives." Urso S. A. Chappell

"I was Born in Albany , N.Y. and had the chance to go to the 64/65 NYWF when
I was 10. Now I live in Iowa But my Heart is in N.Y." James C. Williams Jr.

"I loved the 1964-65 Fair as a kid. Within the last month I visited the Queens
Museum (which is located in a building originally from the 1939 Fair and within the property used for both 1939 and 1964 Fairs)
for the first time to recapture some of my memories of the NYWF. This would be a wonderful thing to bring back. In a way,
my many vacations at Disney World visiting EPCOT has been a substitute for the NYWF. Let's have the real thing!" Brett
Robinson

"I think that a world's fair in NYC is a fantastic idea" Marc Peretti

"I WANT IT TO COME! It will be good for New York City spiritually and financially."

"I was lucky to have attended both the 1939/40 and 1964/65 World Fairs and have
cherished those memories. After 9/11 N.Y.C. needs a new fair more than ever." Jesse F. Skelton

"Since the World's Fair was originally supposed to be in the U.S. every 25 years,
and it's been 37 years since it was in NY, and I was only 3 or 4 when it was here, I would love to see the World's Fair come
back. I would be particularly interested in seeing some of the old structure's and exhibit's from the World's Fair revisited.
Thanks!" Laura

"The world community spirit of a World's Fair is just what we need in NYC. Good
luck!" R. Kelemen

"I remember the 1964-'65 New York World's Fair. I was 9-10 years old and attended
about five times with my family. I also attended Expo 67 in Montreal and Hemisfair (1968) in San Antonio. I found these fairs
to be educational, fun, and a great celebration. You have a great idea here." Lawrence E. Silver

"It would be so nice to have a World's Fair at Flushing Meadows, where the 1939/40
and 1964 fairs were held. The 1964 fair was such a fun time. I wish I had been around for the 1939/40 fair, 'The World Of
Tomorrow.'" Valerie Comeau

"New York's last fair was absolutely wonderful, and since 9-11-01,
it would be a chance for the world to come and understand the devistation." Joyce Hoffman

York." Hugh Donovan

"It's way past time for another North American World's Fair" William
Westwater

"Great idea, NY would be a fantastic place to hold the World's Fair again!"
Ryan J. Corker

"Great Idea Guys!!! Flushing Meadow Corona Park would once again be an ideal
place for the fair to be situated. Perhaps "this time" the revenue from the proposed "NYC 2012 Fair" would help create the
"grand city park" that Robert Moses had always envisioned of creating for the people of NYC. I believe that if the fair does
become a reality, that the late Mr. Moses have a pavilion dedicated in his memory, recognizing his many years as a dedicated
promoter for this great city!" Joseph Ergui

"As immediate-Past President of the World's Fairs Collectors Society, Inc (USA)

Vega Jr.

to returning." Gary A. Fitts

"1964 New York Worlds Fair made an indelible impression on the life of a young
boy from upstate Pennsylvania!" Ronald Kenneth Bednar

it would give to the city would be considerable, more so given the events of this last year." Kevin

"I'm 14 years old, and my mother shares her memories of the 1964 World's Fair
with me... I think this is a great idea and I thoroughly support it!" Alexandra Spencer

"What a great idea! I am an Expo freak from way back. I was lucky enough to represent
my country (Australia) at the 1992 Expo in Sevilla, Spain. I also managed to get work at Expo 93 Taejon, Korea and Expo 98
in Lisbon, Portugal. I believe that it is very fitting to assist New York in some way post 9/11. New York is one of the great
cities of the world (after Melbourne). Right now it needs a vision for the future. Human interaction is what we need to foster
understanding between cultures. So far the results of 9/11 have been panic, fear and mistrust. Now is the time to channel
our energies into something important. The atmosphere in the World trade Centre must have been something like Expo due to
the multitude of nationalities working there. The come back of this kind of atmosphere will be facilitated with Expo 2012
in NYC. Lets go Expo!" Leon Saiz

"A 2012 NY World's Fair is a GREAT idea!" Donald A. Blody

"I visited the 1958 World Exhibition in Brussels, this inspired me very much.
In 1998 I wrote and published a book on the Czechoslovak Issues for the New York World's Fair of 1939 and 1940. New York can
be -again- the advanced place for a new Fair, maybe devoted to peace, equality, human rights and care for our environment!"
Eckart H. Dissen

"Make NYC a star again as it was in 1939 & 1964" Judy Hall

and the world." Emily R. Pendergast
